HTA Reg. 340/94
Novice Driver Charges charges in Brampton, Ontario.
Quick Answer — Brampton
G1 and G2 drivers in Ontario face lower demerit thresholds than fully licensed drivers — a 6-point conviction alone can trigger a 30-day suspension, and 9 or more points results in licence cancellation. Any traffic charge is more serious for a novice driver, and contesting it early is the most important step to protecting your licence.
Peel lays more stunt driving charges than almost anywhere in the province, and a share of those drivers are G2s. A novice driver charged that way is on two tracks at once — the roadside suspension and impound that apply to anyone, and the graduated licensing consequences that apply only to them. Point Duty Traffic Court Defence handles both sides of that at the Ray Lawson court, because resolving the Brampton ticket and protecting the novice licence are not the same job.
Zero BAC, zero passenger, supervised-driving and seat-belt rules for G1/G2 drivers. Escalating suspensions on conviction — fast-tracked defence essential.

- Peel prosecutors will resolve a matter either way. You can ask for an early resolution meeting, and the trial date is still a live opportunity to deal — a real difference from Toronto, where the prosecutors have been saying resolutions are not available on the date of trial. On a first offence the usual landing spot in Peel is a reduction to a lesser offence. Point Duty Traffic Court Defence works both openings at the Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon courts.

Peel has three separate POA courts — Mississauga on Burnhamthorpe Road, Brampton on Ray Lawson Boulevard and Caledon on Old Church Road — and your ticket goes to the one for the municipality where it was issued.
